Abstract :
A local area distributed computing system called RHiNET (RWCP High Performance Network), in which thousands of commodity personal computers and workstations can be connected by high speed optical interconnection is being developed. RHiNET consists of network interfaces, network switches and optical interconnections. RHiNET will provide a single system image to users and support high performance parallel computing. This paper presents an overview of the system
